Things are most certainly bad for the New Orleans Saints, but when you are more than a touchdown favorite on the road following a six-game losing streak, that screams “It could be worse!”

We talk about where the Saints are and their upcoming divisional game at the Carolina Panthers. Also, we ask the question: If they don’t win this one, is that the end of the line for Coach Dennis Allen? What else could happen to force a move by the team in-season?

Also, it was another rough night for the Pelicans, and it is time for our best bets of the week on Thursday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 303) presented by Evangeline Securities. Jim Derry welcomes in Bet.NOLA.com’s Gabe Henderson to hear his top play, as well as Uncle Big Nick and his weekly five best bets.
